Pi Network is calling on its users to step up as KYC Validators to help accelerate the verification process and support the migration to the Open Network. With the recent surge in KYC requests following the Grace Period and approaching deadlines, the Pi team emphasizes the importance of increasing the number of Validators to reduce wait times and ensure smooth operations.
KYC (Know Your Customer) is essential for compliance with regulations and maintaining the integrity of Pi’s ecosystem by verifying that all Pioneers are real individuals.Â
By becoming a KYC Validator, users can play a crucial role in verifying the identities of fellow Pioneers in their region and ensuring that Pi can meet its goal of moving to the Mainnet.
Validators are responsible for reviewing and verifying the KYC submissions of other users. Their work directly impacts the speed and success of the KYC process. The more Validators there are, the faster the KYC process can be completed, helping the Pi Network grow toward its Open Network ambitions.
Importantly, Validators must prioritize accuracy in their work. The Pi system rewards Validators based on the quality, not just the quantity, of their submissions. Users who maintain high standards in their validation work will receive more tasks, while those who make frequent errors may see their work assignments reduced or paused.Â
However, consistent, accurate performance can help restore a Validator’s status if it was previously lost.
For those interested in joining as Validators, the Pi team encourages users to check the KYC app and get started. This is a great opportunity to support Pi Network’s growth while earning Pi for your contributions. Together, Pi users can help drive the platform toward its Open Network milestone.
